Buenas noches a todos,
This week will be a short but busy week in la clase de espanol. Students will be continuing to perform their dialogs with a partner and an third person being called up to improvise the conversations, will be finishing some listening activities on CD, and will be working in partner groups this week to review for the quiz on time, emails, telephones, numbers, days of the week, and making questions on Thursday of this week (October 13).
Homework Tuesday night: pages 7a and 8a in the packet.
Homework Wednesday night: pages 10a and 9a, plus study for the quiz.
Homework Thursday night: none due to TMS Pride Day. Progress reports go home this Friday, 10-14.
Next week we will be having our first BIG Test on all of chapter 1, probably on Wednesday or Thursday. I will be updating more soon when we get a bit closer. In the meantime, keep looking at your notes and studying.
I will be staying after school for make-ups and extra help on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, and Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday of next week.
Buena suerte, Senora Schneider

Revisions for Friday October 7, 2011
Hola Clases,
We have had a good week this week, doing our homework, learning new concepts about time, telephones, and emails. However, we still need a bit more work on telling time and becoming more comfortable with it. So, there will not be a quiz tomorrow on these topics because I will be moving it to Thursday October 13th More practice is needed to make sure everyone is understanding how to do conversational time. We still are on for the homework that is posted for tonight- 6a and 8v. Buena suerte (Good Luck) !
No homework this weekend except to study if you are having trouble.
I cannot stay next Tuesday the 11th, but I should be available on Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th for extra help and make ups. Progress reports go home on Friday the 14th.

This week agenda - October 3 -7 2011
Buenos dias amigos,
This week we will be learning how to give out telephone numbers, email addresses, and tell time. We will still be reviewing capitals and countries, and all our other basic questions such as "What's your name?", "How are you?" "Where are you from?" and all the other expressions that we have been practicing since September for our quizzes this week on Tuesday and Friday, such as the verb to be, pronouns, and capitals and countries.
Monday (lunes) - finish the dialogs with your partner. If you are out, you will finish it by yourself and all dialogs will be collected. Page 11v in packet for class work and homework is pages 3a and 6v plus study for your expressions quiz tomorrow.
Tuesday (martes) - Review with brainstorming questions, review 3a and 6v, expressions quiz plus the verb to be and pronouns. Homework is the calendario for octubre. The pictures are 8 halloween items, labeled in Spanish and in color
Wednesday (miercoles) - Review, calendar homework, phone, email, and time questions, and use clocks to go over time. Homework is page 5a only number 12, all of 7v, exercises 25 and 26 on 9v.
Thursday (jueves) - Go over homework after warm up review, partners work with individual clocks orally, written clock time on worksheets. Homework -new packet- pages 6a and 8v. Probable quiz tomorrow on time, telephone, and emails.

This is a fairly solid schedule, however it can be subject to change and I will post the changes that night for the next day.

Homework expectations and upcoming quizzes
Buenas tardes a todos, (Good afternoon everyone)
Just a reminder that ordinarily there is homework Monday through Thursday with none during the weekend, unless of course there is a project. Most of the homework is given in packet form with 4 or 5 pages in a packet. I find that this saves time for everyone in class and the students need to become more responsible for holding on to their work. Losing a packet is not in anyone's best interest.
There will be a quiz on Tuesday of next week on our notes in section 2 of the notebook . In our book, we are still in chapter 1 and the quiz will be on the material covered from pages 6 to 17. We practice the expressions almost everyday, so that the students should be very familiar with the material if they pay attention, participate, and do their homework.
I do stay after school 2 or 3 times per week, usually Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays (late bus on Thursday) unless I have other commitments. I announce when I am available for make-ups or extra help at the beginning of the week. If you are having trouble, please stay. People who continually avoid homework will be asked to stay to make it up. I will be calling home if it is a chronic problem. Gracias!

Week of September 26, 2011
Hola estudiantes and padres (students and parents),
I hope you are all off to a good start in school, but especially in Spanish. So far we have been learning about greetings, goodbyes, capitals, countries, weather, numbers, alphabet, customs in Spain, months, days of the week, money, and feelings. The students are doing well and seem to be enjoying the class.
This week we will be learning about subjects and verbs, telephone and internet expressions, and capital and country expressions. We will be working more with partners now that we have established more routines and we will be writing and performing a dialog at the end of the week. We have also started our listening activities on tape where the students hear native speakers and respond to questions that they hear. It is good for the students to hear other voices and various accents from different countries. There are no quizzes this week, but we have had two so far, some graded homework, and some graded classwork.
The homework for tonight Monday 9/26 is all of page 1a and page 3 exercises 8 and 9 in the packet.
Tuesday night homework will be page 4 in the old packet and page 5V in the new packet which the students will receive tomorrow.
There will be no homework Wednesday or Thursday nights due to the Jewish holidays. We will resume our normal schedule next week of homework Monday through Thursday.
Hasta pronto! (see you soon ) Senora Schneider

Hola Clases,
We have gotten off to a great start learning the alfabeto, numeros, el tiempo (weather) and the fecha(date). we have given everyone a new Spanish name, have had mini conversations, and passed out money envelopes for the euro program. Homework will be given Monday thru Thursday for most weeks. Hopefully, everyone will enjoy Spanish this year, work hard, and learn many new things. Adios!

homework pages 51 exercise 13 10 sentences minimum, page 52 exercises 16, 17, 18
Buenas noches,
We have just finished a unit on the Mexican holiday called the Day of the Dead which is celebrated from October 31st to November 2nd. WE compared the differences between Halloween and the Day of the Dead and looked on line at the ofrendas that the families make to honor their ancestors. We are making our own ofrendas in class by having the students bring in a photograph of a loved one who has passed away and an object that represents them and what they liked to do. The students then present their photo and object and talk a bit about their relative or pet. After their talk, they put their things on the ofrenda. Everyone will get their things back next week. We also played Halloween/Day of Dead bingo and did a word search with the vocabulary. It has been very interesting for everyone!
We are having another quiz tomorrow on the questions words and how to ask about ages, birthdays and other basic questions. We are continuing with chapter 2 and will learn how to use the verb " to like" in a few days. Grades close this Friday, November 5th and retakes and make-ups have been going on for the last two weeks. I usually stay after school on Mondays and Tuesdays and sometimes on Wednesdays. If your child is having trouble, have them see me for extra help. Most students are consistently doing their homework, however there are a few who are not. I will be contacting parents either through e-mail or phone calls if there is a consistent problem of not completing work.
Tomorrow night's homework is a vocabulary list from pages 56 and 57 in the students' fourth section of their notebooks. We will be changing seats, groups and partner buddies next week. Until then, keep studying!
